NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports the Patriots are open to trading S Kyle Dugger.

Schultz said the Patriots are keen on getting rid of Dugger ahead of the regular season, and are willing to eat part of his hefty contract to get a deal done. Dugger has been unhappy with his reduced role this offseason. There are several teams interested in acquiring Dugger, graded by Pro Football Focus in 2024 as the league’s fourth worst safety. Dugger last year allowed a completion on 79 percent of the passes that came his way. There’s a good chance he’s on another roster by Week 1.
